For me it's the other way around.

I was watching an interesting programme on TV the other week about old age and
changes to the body or otherwise.
One thing it said is that we assume old people think slower and speak slower etc
because of deteriation of brain function, but the TV programme was saying there
is no evidence of this at all (unless you happen to have dementia which is a disease
of the brain ) and that the new thinking is that you simply have so much knowledge
and life experience, that it takes longer for the brain to sift through all of that
information and find the right answer or experience etc.
It did say that it has been proven that in old age, the left side of the brain and the
right side of the brain forms more connections to link them up, that possibly this was
a way of compensating for any slowing down of thinking and to allow messages and
electrical impulses to better travel around the brain to access all that stored information.
They also showed experiments where old people (people in their 80s 90s) were
given new experiences and things to learn etc and the programme demonstrated that
the brain never loses its ability to learn new things and take in new information. But at the
same time old information from long ago was still stored in the brain waiting to be
remembered.
At one point they did an experiment where a group of elderly people were invited to
smell different scents from their childhood, old fashioned scents which we may not have any more.
They were asked to smell each scent and say what it reminded them of.
One man was reminded of his time in the army polishing boots as a punishment. Another lady
was reminded of wash day trying to get the family washing for the week completed etc.
There was one fabulousness lady who took up sky diving in her 80s. Another woman in her 80s
took up modelling. A man in his early 90s went to the gym every week to do weight training.
The programme was saying that far from declining there was a lot of evidence that with exercise
the human could continue to build muscle and replace bone as long as we live if we continue to
be active. That after the age of 50 the typical person loses 2% bone mass every year but
this need not be the case with regular exercise which increases bone density quicker than it
is lost.
There was a man who was in his 80s and was a professional poker player as sharp as any of the
younger players. He was very successful and it was said that as we age, people get better at hiding
their emotions - no one could read his face and that is why it was thought he was so good.
Apparently we get less colds as we get older as we gradually become immune to all
the varieties of cold virus.
Totally brilliant programme, very inspiring.

That is cool Miri
I was watching a programme about computer games (both the good and the bad sides of them)
and some researchers had old people play games (a bit like car racing games, but with less distractions in- game)
After a few months they all scored better on general tests for reaction time and problem solving skills

Oh sorry, did I deviate from the OP?
How? Well I'm not a teacher of any sort but I will try hehe
Align your thought patterns according to the spirit mostly by what is already revealed in the written Word by
1. Recognition
2. Humility/teachability
3.Mostly meditation and speaking aloud the truth. I say meditation can either be silently thinking of the word in prayer or even as you go about your day thinking and praying. This allows us align our natural mind to the truth God has revealed because before we came to the truth we learned a lot of lies and wrong of thinking that needs to be unlearned, especially how Gods Kingdom works. This I need to practice more myself lol..as to why only 10% maybe because there's vastly more to the spirit realm than there is in the natural world, what we believe in the spirit affects our natural..I wonder if subconscious is the carnal for spirit/soul, as in if they are the same thing. But anyway, that's another topic, I hope I make sense.

willie,
for me, what I was born into and how I was raised and who/what I was brought up with, this is the KEY to my
Survival techniques...
they are quite a few 'unknown' 'sence's that most have never heard of or what many would call ordinary...
'6'th sense??? willie, trust me Brother, 10 or 12, are quite ordinary for many of us...
